Compact sub compact?

   / Compact sub compact? #111  
Kubota BX’s and JD 1 series are very common used and are solid tractors.
I'm very happy with my BX2370-1 with 60" belly mower and SSQA FEL as modified for my hills,woods and driveway grading. Mods are 2" wheel spacers on the rear (really helps with side hills) full length skid plate, 3 chain hooks welded on bucket and soon a DIY grapple and wheel weights made from bar bell weights.

Rk 21 going up to its new home up north a week or so actual review how it handles hills mowing and snow removal up there be it a manual angle qa plow or small xb tph snow blower to follow. Tiny rear r14
tires filled with rim guard. My old truck and trailer is a bit of an overkill kill 😂. I'm also really surprised how much I like the hydrostatic drive so far. Also there is no aluminum on rear axle or any other parts of the drivetrain. All steel, however it doesn't have a oil cooler for trans fluid.

Hate to tell you, but the right rear strap has fallen off.

That can easily happen with the open hook style.

Lol it' wasn't on yet, even though that tractors all steel, used 3 ratcheting straps instead of chain and binders also put that bucket against the front steel rail on trailer.

Here's something I learned over the years if straps or chain and binders are still tight after initial 5 miles chances are they will stay tight unless they break. Keeping the strap ends tied up and out of the way is another story though.

Yeah, you'd have to lift it either way, and tossing it into the bed might be easier.

I just can't get over how huge those fender blinkers look, and I'm sure they're standard size.
That "tractor" if some might call it one is definitely a compact sub compact. And it's the power and size footprint I wanted up north for my usage. Figure after getting quotes from quite a few tractor manufacturers it was almost half the price of comparable models in the green or orange brands.
